The {{nihongo|'''Hades Paradox Cup'''|裏ハデスカップ|Ura Hadesu Kappu}} is one of the four cups that can be entered by talking to [[Hades]] in his chamber in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', and is the longest and hardest in the game. The tournament consists of fifty matches with the cup's rules changing every ten matches. A boss is fought on every tenth match and the final boss is Hades in Berserk mode. Upon winning the cup, the {{nihongo|'''Hades Cup Trophy'''|ハデスカップトロフィー|Hadesu Kappu Torofī}} is received.
==Rules==
===Rounds 1-10===
*No restrictions. Sora has access to [[Drive Form|Drives]], [[Summon]]s, and his allies.
** Round 6 is fought in the dark.
** A good strategy is to use [[Peter Pan]]'s [[Journey's End]] to accumulate points. Note this is ineffective on the boss fights on Rounds 5 and 10.
===Rounds 11-20===
*[[Titan Cup]] rules. [[Sora]] fights alone, and cannot use Drives, but Summons are available. There is also the Damage Points restriction with Sora starting out at 500 points.
** As with the first 10 rounds, a good strategy is to use [[Peter Pan]]'s [[Journey's End]] to accumulate points. Note this is ineffective on the boss fights on Rounds 15 and 20.
===Rounds 21-30===
*[[Pain and Panic Cup]] rules. The [[Drive Gauge]] is locked, but Summons and Allies are available and [[Limit]]s consume less [[MP]] than usual.
** Liberal use of [[Trinity Limit]] is highly recommended for clearing this section.
** Round 24 is a group of 3 [[Bulky Vendor]]s. Because prizes are not given during the tournament, there is no need to wait for their health to deplete. Use this time to breathe before the battle with [[Cloud]] & [[Tifa]] next round.
===Rounds 31-40===
*[[Cerberus Cup]] rules. Forms are available, and Drive Gauges fill much faster than normal. There is also a ten-minute timer.
** Use of [[Final Form]] is recommended to beat the timer.
** Round 35 is a cloud of [[Rapid Thruster]]s, against which you must survive for one minute. It is recommended to use Magnet and Thunder to clear as many as possible to increase your score.
** Round 38 is several waves of Nobody enemies. Magnet and Thunder can be used to clear each wave, but beware that the [[Sorcerer]] is immune to elemental magic.
===Rounds 41-50===
*No Summons, no Drives (with the exception of Limit Form in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''), and no allies (except in the final round, where you have [[Hercules]] as the only ally); only the Keyblade, magic, and [[Trinity Limit]] are available.
** Round 44 is a group of [[Living Bone]]s enemies. Be prepared to [[Reflect]] immediately as the round opens to survive their attacks.
** Round 45 is a repeat of the [[Battle of 1000 Heartless]], and Sora must survive for one minute. Snag [[Surveillance Robot]]s and use Sparkle Ray liberally to clear the field.
** Round 47 is the final round in which you can increase your score.
*** The round opens with a single Bulky Vendor; once it is defeated, several waves of additional enemies will spawn. A Magnet and Thunder combo can be used to clear the room rapidly for a score bonus.
